Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait Bulk Golden Shiner Fry

I stocked 3 dozen GSH and 5 dozen FHM from a local bait shop in June of 2011 when there were no fish in my pond. They have spawned again and again. The original GSH stockers are now 6-7" and their offspring from 2011 and 2012 are in 3-5" size range. I am currently on my third wave of GSH hatches this year. My first hatch of GSH occured in late May and they have already grown to 1"+. So long as the water temps are cool, less than 81 degrees, they will continue to spawn. See ewest comments on page 2 of this thread.
